FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention is in the field of pharmaceutical agents and specifically relates to compounds, compositions, uses and methods for treating cancer.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) are a family of serine/threonine protein kinases playing important cellular functions. The cyclins are the regulatory subunits that activate the catalytic Cdks. Cdk1/Cyclin B1, Cdk2/Cyclin A, Cdk2/Cyclin E, Cdk4/Cyclin D, Cdk6/Cyclin D are critical regulators of cell cycle progression. Cdks also regulate transcription, DNA repair, differentiation, senescence and apoptosis (Morgan D. O., Annu. Rev. Cell. Dev. Biol. 1997; 13:261-291).

Small molecule inhibitors of Cdks have been developed to treat cancer (de Carcer G et al., Curr Med Chem. 2007; 14:969-85). Large amount of genetic evidence support that Cdks play critical roles in the development of most human cancers (Malumbres M. et al, Nature Rev Cancer, 2001; 1:222-231). Genetic alterations in Cdks, their substrates or regulators have been shown to be associated with human cancer. Endogenous protein inhibitors of Cdks including p16, p21 and p27 inhibit Cdk activity and their overexpression result in cell cycle arrest and inhibition of tumor growth in preclinical models (Kamb A., Curr. Top. Microbiolo. Immunol., 1998; 227:139-148).

Small molecule inhibitors of Cdks may also be used to treat variety of other diseases that result from aberrant cell proliferation, including cardiovascular disorders, renal diseases, certain infectious diseases and autoimmune diseases. Cell proliferation regulatory pathways including genes involved in the cell cycle G1 and S phase checkpoint (p53, pRb, p15, p16, and Cyclins A, D, E, Cdk 2 and Cdk4) have been associated with plaque progression, stenosis and restenosis after angioplasty. Over-expression of the Cdk inhibitor protein p21 has been shown to inhibit vascular smooth muscle proliferation and intimal hyperplasia following angioplasty (Chang M. W. et al., J. Clin. Invest., 1995; 96:2260; Yang Z-Y. et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (USA) 1996; 93:9905). A small molecule Cdk2 inhibitor CVT-313 (Ki=95 nM) was shown to cause in significant inhibition of neointima formation in animal models (Brooks E. E. et al., J. Biol. Chem. 1997; 272:29207-29211). Disregulation of cell cycle has been associated with polycystic kidney diseases, which are characterized by the growth of fluid-filled cysts in renal tubules. Treatment with small molecule inhibitors of Cdks yielded effective arrest of cystic disease in mouse models (Bukanov N. O., et al., Nature, 2006; 4444:949-952). Infection by a variety of infectious agents, including fungi, protozoan parasites such as Plasmodium falciparum, and DNA and RNA viruses may be treated with Cdk inhibitors. Cdks have been shown to be required for replication of herpes simplex virus (HSV) (Schang L. M. et al., J. Virol. 1998; 72:5626). Cdks are essential proteins in yeast. Synovial tissue hyperplasia plays important roles in the development of rheumatoid arthritis; inhibition of synovial tissue proliferation may suppress inflammation and prevent joint destruction. It has been shown that over-expression of Cdk inhibitor protein p16 inhibited synovial fibroblast growth (Taniguchi K. et al., Nat. Med. 1999; 5:760-767) and joint swelling was substantially inhibited in animal arthritis models.

Selective inhibitors of some Cdks may also be used to protect normal untransformed cells by inhibiting specific phases of cell cycle progression (Chen et al. J. Natl. Cancer Institute, 2000; 92:1999-2008). Pre-treatment with a selective Cdk inhibitor prior to the use of a cytotoxic agent that inhibits a different phase of the cell cycle may reduce the side effects associated with the cytotoxic chemotherapy and possibly increase the therapeutic widow. It has been shown that induction of cellular protein inhibitors of Cdks (p16, p27 and p21) conferred strong resistance to paclitaxel- or cisplatin-mediated cytotoxicity on the inhibitor-responsive cells but not on the inhibitor-unresponsive cells (Schmidt, M, Oncogene, 2001 20:6164-71).

Compounds of the current invention may also be administered sequentially with known anticancer or cytotoxic agents when a combination formulation is inappropriate. The invention is not limited in the sequence of administration; compounds of the invention may be administered either prior to, simultaneous with or after administration of the known anticancer or cytotoxic agent.

Currently, standard treatment of primary tumors consists of surgical excision followed by either radiation or IV administered chemotherapy. The typical chemotherapy regime consists of either DNA alkylating agents, DNA intercalating agents, CDK inhibitors, or microtubule poisons. The chemotherapy doses used are just below the maximal tolerated dose and therefore dose limiting toxicities typically include, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hair loss, neutropenia and the like.

There are large numbers of antineoplastic agents available in commercial use, in clinical evaluation and in pre-clinical development, which would be selected for treatment of neoplasia by combination drug chemotherapy.

General Synthetic Procedures

The compounds of the invention can be synthesized according to the procedures illustrated in the following working examples, as well as by alternative methods known to those of ordinary skill in the art.

Additional analogs can be prepared by the following general schemes.

Bromination of compound 227 with NBS in analogy to the preparation of compound 230 of example 168 provides bromo ester A. Sonagshira coupling provides the alkyne B. Grignard addition provides the tertiary alcohol C. Mild acidic workup provides the fused pyran D.

The thiomethyl group of compounds D and E can be converted to typical substituted heteroaryl and aryl amines in analogy to example 168 providing inhibitors such as F and G.

Condensation of amine 225 with pyrimidine 222 provides diester A2 which can undergo claisen condensation to the keto ester B2, which is a versatile intermediate for a number of transformations. Condensation with hydrazines can lead to fused pyrazoles such a C2 and D2, which can be further modified to examples of this invention.

Aldehdye 229 can be formylated to an equivalent of the dialdehyde A3 which can be used to form the fused pyridazine B3, which can be further modified to examples of this invention.

According to Kan, Wai Ming; Lin, Shih-Hsun; Chem, Ching-Yuh SynComm V35 p2633 y2005, amines such as cyclopentyl amine can be added to chloroformamidines such as A4 to form guanidines such as B4. Buchwald coupling with halopyrimidines such as C4 followed by intramolecular cyclization can provide substrates for elaboration to examples of this invention. The 5 and 7-member ring analogs of A4 are also useable.

The use of uracil A5 or dialkoxypyrimidine heterocycles can lead to more elaborate analogs.

BIOLOGICAL TESTING

The pharmacological properties of the compounds of this invention may be confirmed by in vitro assays such as those described below.

The Cdk4 and Cdk6 inhibitory activity of the compounds is measured with a kinase inhibition assay using recombinant Cdk4/CyclinD1 or Cdk6/CyclinD3 protein complexes. The protein substrate used in the assay is the retinoblastoma protein (Rb). The kinase reactions are carried out in a 96-well filter plate (MSDV N6B50, Millipore). Compounds are serially diluted in kinase buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 50 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT, 1 mg/ml BSA) and added to the reaction mixture containing 2.5 ng/ml Cdk4/CyclinD1 or Cdk6/CyclinD3, 25 μM ATP, 10 μCi/ml [³³P]-ATP, 0.1 μg/ml Rb in the kinase buffer. The mixture is incubated at room temperature for 1 hour and the proteins precipitated with an equal volume of 20% TCA. The plates are washed with 10% TCA according to the manufacturer's instruction and dried at room temperature. The amount of the phosphorylated Rb is determined with a TopCount (PerkinElmer). The IC₅₀ of a compound is determined by nonlinear regression curve fitting using software program Prism 5 (GraphPad Software).

The cellular activity of the compounds is measured with a cell-based DNA synthesis inhibition assay. Rb positive (e.g. Colo-205, MDA-MB-435) or Rb negative (e.g. MDA-MB-436, H2009) cancer cells are seeded in the 96-well Cytostar plates (GE Healthcare, Cat# RPNQ0163) at a density of 3000-5000 cells/well. Dilutions of compounds are added to the cells. After 24 hour incubation at 37 C, ¹⁴C-thymidine is added (0.1 μCi/well). After additional 48 hour incubation at 37 C, incorporation of ¹⁴C-thymidine into the DNA of the cells was measured with a TopCount (PerkinElmer). The IC₅₀ of a compound is determined by nonlinear regression curve fitting using software program Prism 5 (GraphPad Software).

The Cdk4 or Cdk6 inhibitory activity of the compounds may also be measured with kinase assays of a different format, e.g., a homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence energy transfer (HTRF) assay (Jia Y. et al , Anal Biochem. 2006; 356:273-281) or a fluorescence polarization (FP) assay (Sportsman J R, et al. Comb Chem High Throughput Screen. 2003; 6:195-200).

The compounds exemplified herein have been assayed and exhibit Cdk 4 IC₅₀s in a range from 0.13 nm to 430 nm, and exhibit Cdk 6 IC₅₀s, where determined from 0.36 nm to 500 nm. Illustrative activity values are provided in the following Table 9.

For example, these may contain an amount of active ingredient from about 1 to 2000 mg, preferably from about 1 to 500 mg. A suitable daily dose for a human or other mammal may vary widely depending on the condition of the patient and other factors, but, once again, can be determined using routine methods.

The amount of compounds which are administered and the dosage regimen for treating a disease condition with the compounds and/or compositions of this invention depends on a variety of factors, including the age, weight, sex and medical condition of the subject, the type of disease, the severity of the disease, the route and frequency of administration, and the particular compound employed. Thus, the dosage regimen may vary widely, but can be determined routinely using standard methods. A daily dose of about 0.01 to 500 mg/kg, preferably between about 0.01 and about 50 mg/kg, and more preferably about 0.01 and about 30 mg/kg body weight may be appropriate. The daily dose can be administered in one to four doses per day.

For therapeutic purposes, the active compounds of this invention are ordinarily combined with one or more adjuvants appropriate to the indicated route of administration. If administered per os, the compounds may be admixed with lactose, sucrose, starch powder, cellulose esters of alkanoic acids, cellulose alkyl esters, talc, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, magnesium oxide, sodium and calcium salts of phosphoric and sulfuric acids, gelatin, acacia gum, sodium alginate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and/or polyvinyl alcohol, and then tableted or encapsulated for convenient administration. Such capsules or tablets may contain a controlled-release formulation as may be provided in a dispersion of active compound in hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose.

In the case of psoriasis and other skin conditions, it may be preferable to apply a topical preparation of compounds of this invention to the affected area two to four times a day.

Formulations suitable for topical administration include liquid or semi-liquid preparations suitable for penetration through the skin (e.g., liniments, lotions, ointments, creams, or pastes) and drops suitable for administration to the eye, ear, or nose. A suitable topical dose of active ingredient of a compound of the invention is 0.1 mg to 150 mg administered one to four, preferably one or two times daily. For topical administration, the active ingredient may comprise from 0.001% to 10% w/w, e.g., from 1% to 2% by weight of the formulation, although it may comprise as much as 10% w/w, but preferably not more than 5% w/w, and more preferably from 0.1% to 1% of the formulation.

When formulated in an ointment, the active ingredients may be employed with either paraffinic or a water-miscible ointment base. Alternatively, the active ingredients may be formulated in a cream with an oil-in-water cream base. If desired, the aqueous phase of the cream base may include, for example at least 30% w/w of a polyhydric alcohol such as propylene glycol, butane-1,3-diol, mannitol, sorbitol, glycerol, polyethylene glycol and mixtures thereof. The topical formulation may desirably include a compound which enhances absorption or penetration of the active ingredient through the skin or other affected areas. Examples of such dermal penetration enhancers include DMSO and related analogs.

The compounds of this invention can also be administered by a transdermal device. Preferably transdermal administration will be accomplished using a patch either of the reservoir and porous membrane type or of a solid matrix variety. In either case, the active agent is delivered continuously from the reservoir or microcapsules through a membrane into the active agent permeable adhesive, which is in contact with the skin or mucosa of the recipient. If the active agent is absorbed through the skin, a controlled and predetermined flow of the active agent is administered to the recipient. In the case of microcapsules, the encapsulating agent may also function as the membrane.

The oily phase of the emulsions of this invention may be constituted from known ingredients in a known manner. While the phase may comprise merely an emulsifier, it may comprise a mixture of at least one emulsifier with a fat or an oil or with both a fat and an oil. Preferably, a hydrophilic emulsifier is included together with a lipophilic emulsifier which acts as a stabilizer. It is also preferred to include both an oil and a fat. Together, the emulsifier(s) with or without stabilizer(s) make-up the so-called emulsifying wax, and the wax together with the oil and fat make up the so-called emulsifying ointment base, which forms the oily dispersed phase of the cream formulations. Emulsifiers and emulsion stabilizers suitable for use in the formulation of the present invention include Tween 60, Span 80, cetostearyl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, glyceryl monostearate, sodium lauryl sulfate, glyceryl distearate alone or with a wax, or other materials well known in the art.

The choice of suitable oils or fats for the formulation is based on achieving the desired cosmetic properties, since the solubility of the active compound in most oils likely to be used in pharmaceutical emulsion formulations is very low. Thus, the cream should preferably be a non-greasy, non-staining and washable product with suitable consistency to avoid leakage from tubes or other containers. Straight or branched chain, mono- or dibasic alkyl esters such as di-isoadipate, isocetyl stearate, propylene glycol diester of coconut fatty acids, isopropyl myristate, decyl oleate, isopropyl palmitate, butyl stearate, 2-ethylhexyl palmitate or a blend of branched chain esters may be used. These may be used alone or in combination depending on the properties required. Alternatively, high melting point lipids such as white soft paraffin and/or liquid paraffin or other mineral oils can be used.

Formulations suitable for topical administration to the eye also include eye drops wherein the active ingredients are dissolved or suspended in suitable carrier, especially an aqueous solvent for the active ingredients. The active ingredients are preferably present in such formulations in a concentration of 0.5 to 20%, advantageously 0.5 to 10% and particularly about 1.5% w/w.

Formulations for parenteral administration may be in the form of aqueous or non-aqueous isotonic sterile injection solutions or suspensions. These solutions and suspensions may be prepared from sterile powders or granules using one or more of the carriers or diluents mentioned for use in the formulations for oral administration or by using other suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The compounds may be dissolved in water, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, ethanol, corn oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, benzyl alcohol, sodium chloride, tragacanth gum, and/or various buffers. Other adjuvants and modes of administration are well and widely known in the pharmaceutical art. The active ingredient may also be administered by injection as a composition with suitable carriers including saline, dextrose, or water, or with cyclodextrin (ie. Captisol), cosolvent solubilization (ie. propylene glycol) or micellar solubilization (ie. Tween 80).

The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution, and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed, including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the preparation of injectables.

For pulmonary administration, the pharmaceutical composition may be administered in the form of an aerosol or with an inhaler including dry powder aerosol.

Suppositories for rectal administration of the drug can be prepared by mixing the drug with a suitable non-irritating excipient such as cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols that are solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum and release the drug.

The pharmaceutical compositions may be subjected to conventional pharmaceutical operations such as sterilization and/or may contain conventional adjuvants, such as preservatives, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifiers, buffers etc. Tablets and pills can additionally be prepared with enteric coatings. Such compositions may also comprise adjuvants, such as wetting, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.

The foregoing is merely illustrative of the invention and is not intended to limit the invention to the disclosed compounds. Variations and changes, which are obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be within the scope and nature of the invention which are defined in the appended claims.

From the foregoing description, one skilled in the art can easily ascertain the essential characteristics of this invention, and without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, can make various changes and modifications of the invention to adapt it to various usages and conditions.

No unacceptable toxological effects are expected when compounds of the present invention are administered in accordance with the present invention.

All mentioned references, patents, applications and publications, are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety, as if here written.
